fBr TELEGRAPH TO rRIBuNEJ
CONCORD. June 10 tSpeciab. The New Hampshire
Legislators are even more prompt than their New.
York brethren in leaving the State Capital on
Friday. Before noon to-day both houses adjourned
until Monday, and two hours later not o member
excepting those who live here was to be found in
the place. There are a few politicians left but
the Quietnoss Of country village has settled down
on the city. In the morning there was general
discussion OF the result Of last night's CAUCUS
and comparing Of notes. Among those few
Republicans who have been unfricudly to Mr..
Chandler, it was generally acknowledged that no
caucus for the nomination OF United States
Senator has been held in this place for fifteen
years that has left less bitterness than the one
held last night. OF course there are dissatisfied
Republicans and foy boilers but the number
OF dissatisfied is less than uusal There is an
uncertainty whether or not there will be any
boilers left when the ballotlng begins on Tuesday.
About half a dozen of the twonty-four absent from
the caucus last night say that they will not vote
for Mr.. Chandler, Some Of the others arc nom
communicative, while six of the absent ones have
explained their absencc as due to causes wholly
OF tsde of the Senate contest
1hore are few desperate men who would go to
almost any length to defeat Mr.. Chandler. In
this work they would have the aid of the Demo-
will have/to join the Democratic party as they
would not be tolerated in the Republican ranks
in this State. Nothing is clearer than the fact
that Mr.. Chandler is the deliberate choice for
Senator OF the large majority Of the Republicans
of the State. Under the circumstances it will re-
quire, as Mr.. Sulloway stated the case, that man
should have the courage to undergo cruciiixiOn il
he bolts. 1t will only require that thirteen Re
publcans in the House shall vote for some other
candidate on Tuesday to prevent Mr.. Chandler's
election on that day. Such result would inspire
the opposition and lead them TO do their best on
Tuesday night to get the requisite l6 votes to
prevent an election in the joint convention on
Wednesday. This is the only hope of the oppO-
sition There is a slight effort in that direction
but it Is thought that when the members 20 home
and consult their constituents, they will come
back less inclined to lend themselves to any such
scheme.
Frank Jones the millionaire brewer, the Demo-
cratic leader in the State, has been here all the
week TO direct the Democratic forces He is
also interested in the project of the Boston and
Maine Railroad, which Is seeking TO get control
OF all the roads in this State Mr.. Jones has an
eye himself on the United States Senate and he
would be glad to do all possible to SOW the seeds
of discord In the Republican ranks. The State
is close and he thinks with the aid Of the Navy
Yard patronage. the Democrats may capture it in
the next election. Perhaps they mght if sue
cessful Republican bolt could be engineered but
they have no hope otherwise. This fact leads
Jones to do all he can TO inspire bolt, and his
agents are said TO be at work now TO that
end. But their chance OF success is exceedingly
small
Mr. Chandler is bright and cheerful. He thinks
the snags have about all disappeared aud he will
90 to bis country bone at Waterloo twenty five
miles from here to spend Sunday, returning on
Monday. He received to-day a large number Of
coneratulatory dispatches

/ declined to say whether or not he would vote for
Mr.. Chandler He may not vote at all,
but he will not vote against tho
caucus nominee The old bachelor gen.
eral was q member of the Legislature forty
years ago. He is an able lawyer. but he does not
regard party strongly binding Hence he has
not made much heldway III securing promo tiOl
the party. His opposition to Mr. Chandler is due
to feeling that lie himself has not been fairly
dler whom he speaks of highly Ex-senator Rol-
lins, who has a banking Office here and is largely
interested in the Concord Railroad. has gone TO his
farm to spend Sunday
There is q good deal of sympathy with Mr. Rol-
Inns, who was defeated b. bolt IN 1883. and IL is
generally conceded that he has a genuine grev-
ance. But Mr. Chandler was not member
of the Legislature in 1883 and he wrote
strong editorial for The Monitor published here,
advising all Republicans to support Mr.. Rollins
have done more but Others do not regard the matter
in the same light Mr. Rollins. however is too
good Republican 10 advise a bolt now. Senator
Geary of this place, who STAYED out of The caucus,
says that he is undecided, but he will probably
vote for the caucus nominee.
